摘要

目的驱动型企业的既定目标是在创造股东价值的同时,为社会和地球的福祉做出贡献。随着人们对目的驱动型企业的兴趣与日俱增,一个由顾问、投资者和推动者组成的新兴 "目的生态系统 "为希望向可持续发展转型的企业提供了不同类型的支持。本文从三个层面探讨了澳大利亚和英国向目的驱动型企业转型需要如何应对这一支持生态系统所面临的挑战。首先,在个人层面,支持提供者需要培养管理者的能力,因为他们在面临股东价值最大化压力的同时,还面临着整合社会和环境目标的紧张关系。其次,在目的生态系统中提供专业建议和资金的支持提供者也面临着环境或社会目标与商业压力之间的矛盾。第三,生态系统中的行动者面临着挑战,他们的目标是改变更广泛的政策和制度环境,但又面临着那些希望 "一切照旧 "的人的游说。我们确定了对那些提供支持的目的驱动型企业生态系统的实际影响。这包括建设将社会、环境和商业目的结合起来的能力;协调支持提供者之间的关系;以及创造一个避免 "目的清洗 "的制度环境。

From “business as usual” to sustainable “purpose-driven business”: Challenges facing the purpose ecosystem in the United Kingdom and Australia

Purpose-driven businesses have a stated objective to contribute to the welfare of society and the planet alongside generating shareholder value. As interest in purpose-driven businesses grows, an emerging “purpose ecosystem” of advisers, investors, and enablers offers different types of support for businesses wanting to transition to sustainability. This paper examines how the transition towards purpose-driven business in Australia and the United Kingdom requires addressing challenges facing this support ecosystem at three levels. First, at the individual level where support providers need to build the capabilities of managers who are experiencing tensions around integrating societal and environmental purpose while facing pressure for maximizing shareholder value. Second, the support providers working within the purpose ecosystem offering professional advice and finance face their own tensions between environmental or social objectives and commercial pressures. Third, there are challenges facing actors in the ecosystems aiming to change the wider policy and institutional environment but facing lobbying from those wanting to keep “business as usual.” We identify practical implications for those parts of the purpose-driven business ecosystem providing support. This includes building capabilities to combine social, environmental, and commercial purpose; coordination among support providers; and creating an institutional environment to avoid “purpose wash.”
